Yep I can raise Vcore.

Anyone know how I can turn Speedstep Off? CIA2 or what ever its called, cant find the book is disabled. usually its only enabled when powersave is turned on the min power save.

Could you run ram slower then fsb if you wanted to, your on the latest bios which is 103 arent you?

seems incredible that you have a 100% overclock almost on stock volts, your temps are all still low then. Stock cooling everywhere still ? I'd like to see a photo if you can please.


Try RMclock for disabling stuff

Its now under water but I'm 100% sure this could be achieved on air. Still pretty much at default volts.

I'm on the default F2 Bios. So there's a new bios? I'm sure I'm hitting the upper limits of my ram now
 
Probably would be a good idea to create a 6300 Clocking Table like the one for the X2 3800. Would be nice to see the general trend.

I have another 6300 on Order and a 6600 a week away, hopefully. I'll see how well they clock.

I still think its amazing that the bottom of the range processor on a cheap mobo is seriously spanking the 6800 Extreme, awesome.

as nice as it is, i think the limit is around 500bus, giving 3.5Ghz ish max,
would be nice to compare a clocked allendale to a clocked conroe to see how the extra 2mb fairs.
So far from the X6800's that ive seen floating around here its not all that comparing to the E6300. LOL!

This board is supposed to top out about 600. There are rumours about that there's going to be a Bios update that will push it further :eek:
 
Sure thing.

CPU Host Frequency - 500
PCI Express Frequency - 100
CIA2 - Disabled
System Memory Multiplier -2.00 (Memory Frequency 900)
Dimm overvoltage Normal
PCI-E - Normal
G(MCH) - +0.10
FBS - - +0.10
CPU Voltage - Normal

G Skill HZ Black Spreader. June Batch with Micron Chips

Thats about it

I turned it off by disabling 'CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)' and 'CPU EIST Function' in the Advanced BIOS Features. Seems to have done the job :)


Also is there anyway you can control and memory timings, is it all Auto done? Or am i missing something. First DDR2 system btw!!! Couldn't resist the potential of these e6300, money well spent to far!! :D


Cheers for that, will give it a whirl although just been playing prey and didnt have any problems/lag.

Memory is on Auto. Not touched Control Shift F1. Awesome Value and the true spirit of Overclocking!

Hey m8,
Being totally honest it Does Not Really Feel That Much Quicker and its all down to the law of diminishing returns. Unless you play benchmarks all day long you won't see any difference in games. Sure Encoding/Decoding will be faster but how often do you do that. If anyone was to ask me "was it worth upgrading any X2 AMD I would have to say no unless it didn't cost you any money. Most of the time now is waiting on the harddisk thats the thing that needs improving.

That makes sense - the weakest link in the chain, etc


Will Raid 0 speed up my rig much do you think, Ive arranged to buy a PCI card since ds3 only has the 1 pata and I have no sata.


I assume memory has to run 1:1 with FSB for this to work out. I got 2 gig for 58 quid, its not going to do 500mhz though even if put the cas to 10 :p


I had 2x 74Gb Raptors in stripe and I now use a 500GB Western Digital, go figure. I think stripes are ok if your using large DB's but for home use its not worth the hassle for very little gain. I have had to junk many a disk when swapping controllers because the stripe was handled differently.

Memory wise its running 1:1 and I must say this G Skill HZ memory is awesome. Bought some DDR a few months ago and that performed well too.
 
I'm trying to get 3.6 Gigs. Booted into windows once but its unstable that was with the memory on Auto. Memory is at 3 6 6 18 Auto, dropped it to 4 7 7 19 and I'm running .25 on the north and FSB not sure how far I can push these without blowing the board up. Tried upping the volts on the CPU by .5 but it didnt make any difference. Its defo the board thats holding me back because of the brick wall I'm hitting for a small increase from 500 to 515 so I have asked for some help from Gigabyte. See what happens. I have heard rumours of a Biod with some slacker chipset timing to achieve higher FSB.

I have a PW5 DH coming soon might try that but I suspect it wont touch 500.

Any help in breaking 3.6 would be greatly appreciated

Its going to be hit and miss for time. I have a little 10 month old Asgard that needs some attention today

The Asgard,do you have MSN? I have a few questions i'd like to ask you about the mobo you are using.

I do m8 its my hotmail address. I'm about to do a morrison run, lol. Even The Asgard need food.

Are you cooling the northbridge with a watercooler :confused:

Not sure if it's possible (without adding more heatsinks for the power circuit?) tho as there seems to be a massive heatpipe cooler going across the mobo.
GA_965P_ds4.jpg

Maybe I'm worrying too much about the mobo etc but at those speeds, surely the northbridge is going to be taking some of the strain and heat.
Also looking at the heatpipe design it looks like it would be carrying the heat up to the power circuit? :eek:

I have a 120mm fan on the heat pipe but otherwise stock apart from the cpu being under water

Heatwise i have not got a clue how hot it is. It doesn't feel that hot I think my hard disk gets far hotter to the touch

I'm wondering what the max volts I can put through the chipset without things going pop.

blue cow wonders, perhaps I need to catch a bus :D

i put 1.65v through the asus for 24/7 use

works fine. cant quote the giga though

Not sure what the default is. The options are + volts over normal. Real pain. The voltage options on the board are massive. The cpu over volts are nasty and I'm sure someone will fry there chip
